The Rise of the Empire

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." Just as Ruprecht was sitting on pins and needles with his cousin for afternoon tea, under the guidance of the maid, a woman wearing a black silk dress and a string of sapphire necklaces The young lady came in front of the two of them, facing the two top nobles in Europe, the latter first gave the princess a slight salute, and then looked up at Ruprecht!

cold! arrogant! silent! The feeling of overlooking everything! There even seemed to be a hint of hatred? This is Ruprecht's first feeling after seeing each other! And this feeling made Ruprecht very upset! who I am! I'm Ruprecht! Look beyond this world for more than 100 years! I am the grandson of the king of Bavaria! Heir to a kingdom!

People who have been on the battlefield and won victories always have some evil spirits in their bones, coupled with the aura of the so-called superiors who have been in high positions for many years, burst out at this moment, Ruprecht did not say anything, A look mixed with murderous intent and pride glanced at the other party!

"To a certain extent, when I met her for the first time, I felt that both of us were kind of people! Both were wolves! But I am the wolf king, and she is a lone wolf! " Ruprecht said later when recalling the scene when he and Laura met.

"This is the Countess Erwin Laura of Hungary. She is the third heir of the family and inherited the title. Now she is the queen of the Hungarian financial industry! She holds a large number of shares in several banks." Princess Mary realized that something was wrong and immediately came out to smooth things over.

"Money is not everything." Ruprecht said calmly.

"But you can't do without money," said the Countess in the same calm tone.

"Therefore, money, military power, and political power are indispensable. Only those who have all three can be kings!" Ruprecht didn't give his cousin any face! People or organizations who dared to prick themselves when they met for the first time were punished! For example, Japan! Ruprecht, who dares to make trouble with a country, is still afraid of a financier?

"Obviously, there is a hurdle that you can't get around in front of me. Maybe you do have some financial ability, but obviously, this ability is useless for your current situation. You should Learn to let go of your posture when you ask for something. At least some unfriendly actions cannot be made by you first!" Ruprecht waved his hand to signal his cousin to stop talking.

The Erwin family! This Ruprecht has heard that a big family in Kolommam, a very famous family of financial capitalists in Austria, is indeed very powerful. It is not too much to say that it controls 30% of Hungary's finance, but This doesn't mean it has the right to jump in front of itself! What's more, the other party is only the third heir!

For Austria and Hungary, Ruprecht has always attached great importance to it, not only for Austria, but also for Hungary! Even if Austria-Hungary eventually splits, Hungary is still an object that can be won. As for the various families in Hungary, Ruprecht naturally spent a lot of time investigating! The Erwin family belongs to the kind of powerful but chaotic family. All kinds of internal struggles made this family gradually lose its influence on the Hungarian economy. A certain heir suddenly had a hot fight with Princess Mary, there is something wrong here! It's not Lily, it's just to take advantage of the situation!

Ruprecht never believed in fate, only in benefits! This Countess must have something to ask for to come before her! Combining those bad things of the Erwin family! Ruprecht believes that the other party is looking for a backer! Although Bavaria is a foreign country! But after all, they are relatives with the Habsburg royal family! And he is a real power faction! The future king of Bavaria! And Princess Mary is really inferior to herself in this regard!

"Rupprecht, it's not good to do this, it's out of style." Princess Mary had never seen such a tough side of her cousin.

Some worries and some fears!

"What do you want to say next, let's talk after you think about it." Cousin couldn't help but give her face, Ruprecht leaned back on the chair after saying this, and began to wander.

"Do you think Japan can win this war in the future?" After a while, the Countess' clear voice sounded.

"Is it important?" Ruprecht asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Very important, this is a big event involving millions of marks." The countess replied.

"Oh, I see. It turned out that I made you lose money! Who do you think will win?" After a while, Ruprecht finally understood some of the problems. The Countess Laura in front of him must have invested in Japanese bonds She is also behind the dumping of old weapons by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Qing Dynasty.

"I think Japan will win, so we bought a lot of Japanese war bonds." The countess bit her lip slightly, and then said.

"Hehe, you're right, but winning Japan doesn't mean you can make money. A lot of your funds must be borrowed from banks, and the daily interest is astonishingly high! After the end, you will receive a bonus, but the problem now is that the protracted war has cost you a lot of financing, and the bond market has taken up a large amount of your funds, so you can't hold on anymore, right?"

In Ruprecht's words. At any rate, I came here more than 100 years later! I have seen many things in history that made war fortunes! Although I am not a graduate of finance, I understand these things more or less. If it does not involve specific operations, talking about some principles can scare people!

"Damn it!" Laura cursed in her heart the guy who sat in the top seat and laughed loudly at her failure! This Bavarian aristocrat is really disgusting. If it weren't for him, because of Germany's unauthorized intervention, the Sino-Japanese War would have come to an end long ago, and the Japanese bonds I bought could make a lot of money!

This guy is so aggressive! If the Countess thinks she can easily face members of the Habsburg royal family including Princess Mary, the fundamental reason is the big stick of money in her hands! Whether it's a royal aristocrat or a financial capitalist, they all need money! For the sake of money, the countess relied on her family and her own ability, and the other party always wanted to give her some face, and the other party had to listen carefully to what she said. Laura even once thought that she would be the ruler behind the world, But after seeing Ruprecht, she suddenly realized how ridiculous her thoughts were!

If he is a wolf in the financial world, wantonly hunting and killing capitalists who are weaker than himself, and then enriching his strength, then this prince has more methods and more intense methods! From her own channels, she knows a little about the German-Japanese rivalry, and also believes that Bavaria played a very important role behind it! Although thousands of miles away, the actions of this little Prussian brother still put Japan in trouble! Laura was shocked by the multi-pronged power of diplomacy, military and finance!

I do have deep resentment towards His Royal Highness the prince, and I even expressed it deliberately when we met. She had done this before when facing members of the Habsburg royal family, and there was nothing wrong with it, but now it seems that , this prince is more bloody, but definitely not reckless. Like a lion guarding its territory, it fights back against all provocations without fear!
